Kyogo Furuhashi has been a revelation since joining the Hoops this summer.
Celtic fans love his work rate, enthusiasm and his never say die attitude. His constant harrying of defenders makes him a player they hate to play against and his movement is a constant thorn in the opposition side.
But it is not only the opposition players who area rattled. Their supporters are too. Or more specifically, the Rangers supporters.
With another flashpoint involving the Celtic striker being highlighted on social media, the claims that Kyogo is somehow a diver or a cheat are gaining momentum as the Japanese striker seems to have them rattled.
As Kyogo challenged Aberdeen defender David Bates, the big stopper hit Kyogo in the face and the striker’s reaction to it seems to have upset more than a few people:

It seems the fear is real amongst our rivals and because they can’t stop him on the pitch, it looks like an online smear campaign seems to be the only way they can try.
But it makes not one blind bit of difference.
They can try and tarnish his name but all it does is make them look stupid, desperate and fearful.
The Celtic supporters? Well, they are loving it and through all the nonsense, smoke and mirrors even they can smell the fear from our rivals and it is beautiful!
